I found out this place used to have a bed bug issue and while they assured me the problem was taken care of and there were no more bed bugs in the facility, I couldn't sleep in my bed because there was very clear evidence of this past bed bug issue (ie bed bug blood/feces stains on the mattress cover and some molts/exoskeletons on the bed frame). In my opinion, even if the problem occurred awhile ago, you need to clean it up better - at least get new mattress covers.

We enjoyed our stay there. Very helpful and nice staff. Nice atmosphere. Valuable facilities including a large top roof/lounge with cool travelers hanging up there. Still small enough structure to get a good sense of community. Sooooo much better than the other close-by hostel we stayed in after.

This hostel is on a street with many other hotels next to Waikiki beach therefore it is a great location. The rooms each have their own fridge bathroom and kitchen area (although you can't cook in your room, the extra sink is useful). Additionally, there is a very nice rooftop area with a bathroom, cooking area, and many places to sit. The staff are friendly and can help book some cars and trips. Breakfast is offered, however, it is mostly muffins and bread so I stored my own healthier food.

Booked for a four person dorm for three of us, got a private room with TV and ensuite. Staff were very helpful, free pizza night was great but get there early. Close to everything, but we didn't really meet anyone in the hostels. Would recommend for clean and affordable Waikiki accommodation.

Thank you for you wonderful stay at the hostel. It can be little crowded in the private bathroom of MIX 6 bed room. You may not see this because your stay was only one night, but we do have excellent daily housekeeping service in noon. We will pay more attention on this area next time. Mahalo!

This hostel was an old hotel. Each room is a hotel room with bunk beds, a kitchenette, lockers (bring your own lock) and bathroom with shower. Towels are available for $1.
Good sitting area upstairs, although the night I was there not too many people congregating there. Decent beach a couple of blocks away, although it's quite shallow and full of coral reefs (great for snorkeling).
A nice typical Hawaiian 'lunch plate' drive-in diner about a 5-7 min walk away (rainbow drive-in).
